Binance Review

Binance Crypto Exchange Overview

Binance is an international and multi-language cryptocurrency exchange platform that was established in 2017 following a $15 million successful Initial Coin Offering for its ERC20 token called BNB.

Behind the success of the company are two important people. Changpeng Zhao, the CEO, and founder of several other successful businesses like Fusion Systems in 2005. He is not new to the world of trading, having a solid background in high-frequency trading systems. He also had worked at OKCoin as CTO. The other Binance founder is Yi Le, another person who had worked at OKCoin and also a former employee at Yixia Tech.

Binance had been originally founded in China, but due to the restrictions imposed by the government in last 2017, it had moved its headquarters to Japan.

Binance Review Summary

Although Binance is a relatively new exchange platform, it had managed to develop tremendously, being located in the second place in the top 10 exchanges in the world by daily market volume. With a team of experienced people behind it, Binance is able to provide access to a wide variety of cryptocurrencies, with low fees and a huge amount of great trading features. Despite its dominant position, Binance wants to develop and further improve its services, wanting to prove also that all the bad stuff that is out there in the online world is not true.
